  • Abstract
    The paper discusses efficient electrostatic field solutions techniques to simulate micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS): adaptive p-elements to remove the burden of manual mesh refinement; hybrid finite elements-Trefftz formulation to treat open boundary problems; energy based capacitance matrix and lumped capacitance value extraction
